The Other Brain

While my brain gets plenty of admiration around here, we often forget that B.B. Av is also possessed of a not-inconsequential brain himself. He beats me and even my mother at Scrabble in English (English is his third language).

Yesterday he did the GMAT. I looked over his study questions and they were HARD - things like when to use "like" versus "as." (There is a difference.)

Unlike the USMLE, they get their scores on site, right at the end of the test.

He got 730.

He is the Brain.

He came home justifiably excited. He bent his head down to me. "Touch the brain. Feel it."

Congratulations to B.B. Av. This makes things interesting, because he was just going to go to a business/technology program at the Technion, but now he is competitive for big name schools.

I'll pass on any nice words, either by email or as a comment. He is, indeed, the Brain.

In case you aren't sick of it yet, here's the latest Namerovsky:
Sleeping peacefully where he knows he isn't supposed to, when we remember that before bed, it's time for eye cream.


The cream approaches, and he reacts by slamming his eyes shut. Reasonable.


The battle, involving much head pulling. I'd do the same if someone was poking me in the eye.


After defeat.
